Comment:
So your expression doesn't match "Box Street" or " Box Elder Lane", I look for digits at the end of the expression:
\b[P|p]*(OST|ost)*\.*\s*[O|o|0]*(ffice|FFICE)*\.*\s*[B|b][O|o|0][X|x].*\d+\b
to match "PO Box 234", etc.

Comment:
for instance, matches this
my box
why not require a number at the end?
also, you're looking for 0 to infinity matches with those stars... {0,1} is a ?
I suggest modifying to this
\b([P|p](OST|ost)?\.?\s?[O|o|0](ffice|FFICE)?\.?\s)?([B|b][O|o|0][X|x])\s(\d+)
